Messenger Plus! Live - Scripting Documentation

The Contact::CurrentMedia property returns the current "media" associated with the contact. It is typically a song's title or a game's name.

Syntax

This is a read-only property.
[string] CurrentMedia;

Data Type

A string specifying the current media. This string is the raw text received by Messenger identifying the media, it is up to you to decode it appropriately. An example of such string would be "\0Music\01\0{0} - {1}\0Return to Tatooine\0John Williams\0Star Wars Episode II Soundtrack\0\0".

Remarks

Despite the fact that Windows Live Messenger mixes both properties, the CurrentMedia property is different from PersonalMessage. When a CurrentMedia is associated to a contact, Messenger simply hides the personal message to display the media's name.
